Sheamus, Jack Swagger, Wade Barrett, Christian, etc all those bummy 2nd rate World Champions on Smackdown hustlin backwards and being demoted to the midcard title where they belonged in the first place.

Can we erase their World Title reigns from the history books :camby:

Trips would never let that happen since his greatest shovel run involves that belt.

Agreed. I always disliked when guys like Jericho and RVD or even Christian would be feuding for the I.C. strap after long being in the business and having world championship title reigns.

Even more irritating is hearing that Bad News Barrett is a 4 time I.C. champ, and Randy Orton is 12 time World/WWE champ.

yeah, id rather see them chase the tag belts...at least they're in a different division.

when the commentators would say Jericho was a 9 time IC Champion like that is something to be really proud of :mjlol:

What did you think would happen since they unified both world titles?

they were doing this before the unification

theres plenty of wrestlers who have never held a title that can use that rub

The IC belt used to mean something.. Now you park jobbers there for curtain jerkers at PPV's.

Does anyone remember The Austis / Rock days battling for the IC belt? Epic!

Now everyone sees it as a step down, so they have useless bullshyt feuds at the top of the card.
Wyatt/Cena for the 3rd time? Who cares.

I think if Sheamus had spent a little more time chasing the midcard titles before he got pushed on a hydraulic lift, and if Barrett hadn't gotten injured right before MITB 2012, they'd be in an enviable position. But this is a way to start putting them back.

Wish they'd have a good, solid feud though. That was how they got signed, you know. Them & Drew Mac all did their WWE tryout matches together off the British Indies. Drew & BNB were a tag team, even.
